He was sick of all the dull, corporate, navy blue and white B2B work out there. Business people are people too. Corialent specializes in B2B marketing that doesn’t suck.

Artificial Intelligence is ready for

the next big thing

After toppling human's dominance in games such as Jeopardy!™ or Go, state-of-the-art artificial intelligence is now ready to take on highly complex strategy games.

Arago will train HIRO™, its problem-solving artificial intelligence, to beat the best human players at one of the world’s most popular strategy computer games: Freeciv.

Accompany our team from the very first moment, when HIRO™ has absolutely zero-knowledge of the game, until it is able to learn how to play like a human-expert - completely on its own - and win against a world-champion.

WHAT TO EXPECT

01

understand

Deep dive into the state of intelligence today: AI systems, and how it all translates back to nature.

02

GAIN INSIGHT

Learn from AI experts how to teach a machine to play complex strategy games, such as Freeciv, autonomously. Watch how it learns, fails, tries, continously improves and finally wins.

03

INSPIRATION

Leave inspired to imagine a future where AI can help you improve your life, business and our world.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Future of AI - Mastering Civilization and Beyond is an invite-only event for those who want to explore the power of artificial intelligence and the beauty of technology. We’re filling the room with the smartest minds from various disciplines as well as top journalists from the US and Europe to discuss one of the most world-transforming technologies.

A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.
